Artist Statement for Eric K. Mercer
|
|
|
I crochet to discuss ideas of consumerism, mass media, identity, and conformity. Citing the properties and traditional uses of fiber, I manifest crocheted metaphors. The manner in which I create my work focuses on the processes, inherent meanings, and histories of the materials I choose. As with the history of fiber-based art, my work tries to redefine certain power structures and social expectations. I have a long-held interest in media and information, leading me to use crochet both as an alternative and critique for contemporary media culture.
